DUDE, I ALMOST SHOT YOU!! 

we need this guy to get popular af, so cops know what a good cop is.

Hey don't worry about the length of the video the stuff you be talking about is really interesting.

I’m glad that we have cops like you who talk about their profession and help the public in a good way

wish all police departments and officers were as open and transparent as you. You're doing a really good thing here.

Just a talking arm driving a car

Hey brother. I just want to say something. keep doing what your doing. make it home safe to your family. but I also want to say thank you for helping us citizens to see life through a LEO'S life. there's a lot of bad apples in a tree. but you have shown mercy and compassion and understanding to us citizens. I hope more cops can be like you.

You should collaborate with TheAfterPrisonShow he is an ex-convict. He is completely changing his life and sending a positive message and it would be cool if you guys talked about prison or how two different people think about our law system

Need more cops like you man. I know there's more good cops than bad and you're one of the only outlets making the voice of the good cops heard

I get a Do It With Dan vibe from this guy. Subscribed

best police oficer in the country right here....thank you for your service

Am I the only one to near piss myself when He said, "God's Special People = Georgia State Patrol"?

I just started watching your vids, I am 16 and you are already an idol for me thank you for making these vids and keep up the awesome work. YOU ARE APPRECIATED

WHAT AN AMAZING STORY with the truck driver. You sir are an amazing police officer, your videos have definitely changed my views on law enforcement. Thank you for your service!

Side note: I love how you are sharing more "job related" stories . I know how hard that is and what a thin line it truly is after being an officer rob sub . I appreciate the shit out of !!!

6:25 "by this time our adrenaline is pumped like we're ready to fuck something up" 😂😂😂😂

I literally just watch your police trunk video and now I'm hooked

It was after midnight. I had a trainee riding with me. I stopped a Mazda RX7 for speeding. Prior to the stop, I had run the license plate, which came back to a female. We both walked up to the car and I told the driver he was speeding and asked him who owned the car? He said he was going to pick up his girlfriend at work. Just the, the trainee pointed towards the passenger seat area and said "GUN!". Without thinking, my gun was out, pointed at the driver's head and I said, "DON"T MOVE!". The driver said there wasn't a gun in the car and started to reach for the area where the trainee was pointing. Now I'm screaming at the driver to "FREEZE" as the hammer is coming back and the cylinder is revolving. I guess the tone of my voice caused the driver to freeze momentarily so I grabbed his collar, pulled it back until he was pinned against the door and told the trainee to get the gun! I opened the door and got the driver out. The trainee came up with a toy gun painted black. I showed it to the driver and this grow man broke down and cried. He realized I was really going to kill him over a toy! I hand him the toy and he threw it on the ground and smashed it with his feet. I told him, "When an officer tells you to FREEZE! You Freeze! I was a split second away from blowing your head off!". I was pissed! The only thing that saved him was I had run the plate prior to the stop and figured he may not know what was in the car. Nevertheless, if he hadn't stopped, I would have killed him and it wouldn't bother me in the least.

Wow! Great first-hand experience and explanation. All these after-the-fact vids and stories never give the kind of explanation you do. That's awesome and I'm glad those situations turned out for the best.

your driving 7+ over the speed limit, I saw that 65mph sign

Thank you for serving the country and risking your life every day to keep us save blue lives matter👮👮👮

Man you got my support 1000%

he moves his hands alot

I just started watching your videos, and as a young guy aspiring to become a LEO i have to say you have opened my eyes quite a bit, i already knew some stuff from always taking every chance to talk to an officer i could but hearing actual stories i feel helps me tremendously. Your videos just help affirm my decision in wanting to become a LEO. i love your videos, they are amazing and are quite funny also. Thank you for your service and be safe.

I just heard about you yesterday from another officer’s channel and I’ve watched a few of your videos thus far and I have to say I have honestly learned more about “life behind the badge” than I ever would have imagined. You seem to have a great knack for educating people. The way you explain things is simple and to the point. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Keep up the great work, Sir.

86000 subs less than 12 hrs ago, now 98000+. Do you have any idea how fast youre going officer?!?😜

Linus Tech Tips has a forum, Tek Syndicate (now Crit TV) also has a forum. You're the only cop to have a forum though :)

I'm in law enforcement in the state of Illinois awesome videos bro!!!

That Gods Special People joke made me die.

You talk so smooth it sound like a voice over. I love your channel man

From 2500 to just about 300,000 subs in no time. Fckn brilliant. Thanks for keepin it real officer and safe travels.

PD Ride alongs are the Greatest, especially if you know the officer or as in my case, they knew I was a firefighter(literally just joined the FD), we had such a great time, he invited me back to ride along with him many other times over a few years. It was some of the best times I ever had, we were hanging out like long time best friends until a call came in & then that's when you flip the switch to work mode. I highly recommend it, ride alongs with PD or FD can be great for anyone. Thanks Officer 401, another cool vid & story, Stay Safe All.

Officer 401 you are a cool guy I found you through a man named YummiR6 and no he didn't mention you I was looking at the videos

Here I am almost 4 years after this video was released rewatching it. I love when youtube creators put verbal timestamps in their videos. When this was put up @officer401 had 2,500 subscribers. As of now he has 636,000. Awesome! Keep it up and thanks for the great content.

You just got a new sub man, lol I'm binge watching you now

Could you do a video on a time when something really got to you, like for instance a mother that can't pay a ticket, or a domestic violence or what not?

wife's sister spent the night over our house, I don't know how the fuck I forgot she was there. I heard something in the back bedrooms thought somebody was breaking in. saw a shadow grabbed my pistol and shot at her. luckily I missed. never been so embarrassed and upset in my life. almost ended somebody's life. with all the training I have had I should have known better to see my target fully before I pulled the trigger which I did not. thank Jesus nothing happened and I missed over her head about a foot. when I heard the noise and saw the shadow I didn't even think it was a natural reaction. had a round in the chamber but I still racked it anyway and instinctively shot. what a learning experience that was. I cannot emphasize how embarrassed and pathetic I felt. you don't know how many sorrys you have to say to somebody when you pointed a gun at them and shot and missed.

Love the vlogs. You gained a new sub, brother.

Just found your channel and I think your content is amazing.

I look for a police officer that makes vlogs. I cent belive that I find you! and definitely I'm subscribing!!!!!

Damn you have super dark tint on your car. I wish it is legal for us to have that kind of tint on our cars :( lol

this is the third or fourth video of yours I've watched now, but I subscribed after that first one I watched and commented on. Keep up the good work man.. I enjoy your content..

Officer401, Just wanted to say as a former US Navy Active Duty Member I thank you for your current service as a Police Officer. Your videos are on point, they are fun and entertaining, and I enjoy the fact that your doing your best to show the public that there are "cool" cops out there! Thanks again for the great videos, keep up the good work brother! Erik Wölfe

I wanna become a police officer, In MD. What are tips you can give?

If you need another idea you could do a video on encounters with drunk people

Very cool forum idea! I just recently stumbled on your RU-vid channel from Mike the Cop who I also recently stumbled upon and I can't get enough! Props to you two, you both are guys that I legitimately want to meet in person, have a drink with, and talk about important stuff or just bullshit. People need to know the real side of cops

one of the best videos you've ever made. and cant wait for the forum

i am now starting to realize that cops are people like us! :D

Last semester, I took a police operations class and we spent a couple class periods discussing the use of deadly force as well as viewed some footage of those situations. Fast forward about a month, we went to school's crime lab to perform an active shooter drill. Throughout the drill I was shot five times (deadly shots but my professor gave my life back so I could finish the drill) and had to make split second decisions of who I was going to shoot and who I wasn't. My adrenaline was pumping and although this drill was nothing compared to what you guys go through on a daily basis, it really put things into perspective. I had to quickly scan each room and shoot the "bad guys" to save the "hostages." I appreciated the opportunity I had to take the police operations class, go through the active shooter drill and the other exercises during the semester. It opened my eyes to just how stressful those situations are and what is at stake.

That's some good shit and some deep shit.

I'm currently studying to become a cop in my state. Good to be a brother in blue soon :)

That story about the guy in the red hat is EXACTLY why I never judge cops harshly when there's a story about them having shot someone. People don't understand that in the heat of the moment, officers have a SPLIT SECOND to react. That guy was VERY lucky that 401 had amazing reflexes. This is precisely why you always comply when dealing with an officer. Always. Always. Always.

hay man I just started watching and I'm already hooked

That highway looks familiar and when u said GBI I automatically knew where ur at, your somewhere in GA

Thanks for keeping your shit together in a confusing and possibly life threatening situation. Keep saving asses, bro. Stay safe and keep the rest of us safe.

it would be interesting to see a rank included for verified members of the military, I also find this idea of a form very appealing it really shows that you do care about your subs and are willing to interact with them despite the busy life I'm sure you have

Hey brother great video. Ever think about doing a duty belt setup? I think that'd be pretty cool.

I've been looking for a law enforcement channel like this forever and so glad I found you. I'm going to the police academy in Indiana in less than a month and I am so pumped. Keep up the great content!

GREAT IDEAS!!!👍😀 U ACTUALLY MAKE UR SUBCRIBERS FEEL IMPORTANT. NOT TO BAD MOUTH OTHER CHANNELS BUT MOST PEOPLE DO IT FOR MONEY... GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK U FOR THE GREAT INFORMATION U PROVIDE US WITH ...

Question will you be doing a veteran or current military ranking of some kind or branch of service rank?

Your kind of honesty takes balls. Thank you for that sir.

woah your windows are really tinted! I didn't know I can tint my windows like that!

You are awesome And thanks for being real

I just found your channel and I must say, this is such an amazing and detailed channel. Thank you for your service!

I just drank a Monster, then the next day I go get an Ice Coffee in Starbucks. Am I going to have a Heart Attack?

" No pressure" He said :'))

Officer401 your videos are cazy funny and I love how straight to the point you are. Keep up the good work

GOD'S SPECIAL PEOPLE !!!

75 in a 65 so you gonna write yourself a ticket

So excited to have subscribed. You are very charismatic and educational, not to mention the material is way entertaining. Not often do we get to see through law enforcement's eyes!

dude im hyped for this

Why haven't I found this channel earlier it's lit

I fell down the RU-vid rabbit hole and discovered your channel about an hour ago & subbed right away!

Opinions on this new 'grappler' mechanism for stopping chases.

as a gun nut, as a future police officer. do not immediently put yout finger on the trigger. i dont care who you are. you could trip,lose valence and bang blow someones head off their shoulders. as youre saying that you were squeezing the trigger i understand why, but you don't intend to shoot. you have it drawn incase you have to school. for the love of god, keep your finger odd the trigger until you're squeezing the trigger.

Dude if going from 2500 subscribers to just short of 250,000 in two months doesn't tell you that what you have to say actually influences people, then I don't know what will. Much respect, be safe, and God bless.

I see your using mybb for the forums. Great choice, very easy to work with, if you need some help I'd be glad to help, I have my own forums and have some experience under my belt with mybb

Bro your such a good cop !!

thank you for your honesty and your up front in your face talk thanks for your service 😀

Can you further explain what the whole system of a counties gun and ammo is so bad? I don't really understand that

Bummer being a Firefighter what do I get a bucket ? Just kidding

"No pressure" I'm dead 😅😅

In Germany a officer would never shoot a person. They only should at a leg. But this is the last Option. You are even disallowed to get the weapon out of the Holster in this Situation.

My cousin had a traffic stop like that but instead of a handbrake it was an m1911

Anybody else notice at 14:00 he shoulder checks and changes lanes, but never turns on his turn signal? I love it haha. No but I really love the videos man, subscribed

you seem like a nice, awesome, and funny cop :)

yo i am from the uk and i am in secondary school and i want to be an officer so dude i hope im like you

Honestly, I have never seen a youtuber so fucking dedicated to his fans. I subbed on the second vid i saw. Role model right here.

I want to become a swat dude

I wish your channel could be ALOT larger!! Because with all the rhetoric going on about cops, seeing your channel might allow certain special individuals to see police officers as humans and not soulless killers!!

Officer401 dude your videos are really interesting and they can teach people alot on if they want to be an officer, and honestly your videos are inspiring me to become a police officer. Having the forums so people can chat is a really nice thing as well

Do you have any videos or pictures of your K-9?

How has he gained 60k subs in a month?

Howdy from PA! Love the extreme helpful tips I'm getting from your channel. I'm learning so much more for the future choices I gonna make. I'll be sure to take most of your advice. Keep it going, your amazing!

you're in Georgia? I live there too... near Augusta....

Wait so the guy ran to his car because he didnt put his parking break on? Fucking hell thats all types of unlucky...imagine if you would of shot him cause of that.

Thanks for what you do man. I’ve wanted to be a cop for years. I’m 23 but I don’t have military so I’m probably going to go the college route. You’re super inspiring.

I watch these vids to get tips on evading police

What state you in also to talk to every sub might get hard when you get more subs sir

It's awsome to see a real police officer doing vlogs! keep it up and stay safe out there!
